ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Ankara and Cairo will cooperate more closely regarding Libya, where they back opposing sides, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday, marking another step in the rapprochement between the two regional powers. Cavusoglu's comments come as the two countries work to mend ties after being at odds for a decade, having cut diplomatic links following the overthrow of Egypt's then president and Ankara ally Mohamed Mursi. Among the disputes between the two countries was the conflict in Libya. "We will cooperate more closely regarding Libya from now on. "We share a common desire with Turkey to hold elections in Libya," Shoukry said.
